It's not really terrifying tbh. Just looks like a drunk guy that needs help. He didn't threaten anyone and didn't get inside the house... pretty weak door breaking abilities too.

Lol. No way.

Indeed.

A fairly similar thread topic to this one here. He used the "well all of my black friends...." line,* and I called him on that. Next thing you know he's posting a picture of him and two or three black guys (among others) fishing on a boat. As I recall it was a really nice boat. Could have been a charter, but after the uploading that picture I want to give him the benefit of the doubt that he actually owned the boat.


* one other thing about the black friends line...it's not the trump card people seem to think it is. Sure, you're black friends may think a particular way, but you shouldn't ascribe their beliefs to all people.

Sadly it was CTE. He has been getting treatment for depression since February of this year. Depression is a definite symptom of CTE.

Many drink to mask the pain… but the pain started with CTE.

Yeah, not really terrifying. I agree with that

Still want to know how something like this leaks. The family would have had to do it

Real question is, why don't you post in the super secret public CCS discord server any more?

Ha ha. That sounds like a Seinfeld episode.

Didn’t know I needed to give you data, since your link from 2017 proves my point that the most shootings and murder from happens in cities controlled by Democrats. I just looked at 2020 and 2019 stats, which shouldn’t be too hard for you to find and also supports the cite you provided, which supports my position.

As for GOP platform, I don’t vote based on a letter next to a name. I e voted for people know who are Dems because, while we differ on some views, I know they’re good people and that’s what’s most important to me.

As far as Republican takes I disagree with:
-tougher on drug offenses; no, I believe in personal freedom to do what you want even if it’s bad for you so I would decriminalize and retool a lot of the drug laws
-death penalty; no do-over if you execute an innocent person and I question the deterrent value
-qualified immunity definitely needs to be examined
-sentence reform so a parent isn’t out of the home for years for a non-violent offense

Things I agree with on the republican platform and I feel would reduce violent crime if implemented:

-cut tax rates, specifically so the tax base doesn’t get decimated and people who want to invest actually stay to start businesses and employ people
-cut off the corrupt relationship local officials have with unions and politically-favored businesses
-school choice and the ability for parents and citizens-the ones who pay the teachers salaries-to control what goes on and how to get rid of things that decimate those schools
-welfare reform
-not do an insane thing like defund the police

Republicans constantly talk about the same issues Democrats do. Their policies aren’t implemented in, say Detroit, because they have no power there.

Problems can arise when one party, whatever it is, dominates an area because no party has a monopoly on good ideas.

Dems control cities. That hardly proves anything because even when they haven't controlled cities crime still is higher in cities because they are cities.

There was a Republican governor from 2001 to 2005. Crime still increased so your premise is flawed as correlation does not equal causation.

And I will reiterate again, legislation occurs at the Federal and State level mostly, if Republicans actually cared about this they would propose legislation rather than twiddle their thumbs and pretend they are helpless because they dont control a city.

I’m talking per capita. Of course you will find a Republican run city with high murder rates here and there. But by and large, per capita, cities always on the infamous high murder rate lists have been controlled by one party for many many decades, with declining results and metrics as time goes by. Again, for the third time, that is a fact.

Im well aware the fed and states pass legislation. No kidding. So do municipalities. Politics is mostly local, so gun ordinances, the power of unions, economic structures and priorities, etc all vary within a state. The more local the legislation, generally speaking, the greater the impact it has on the day to day lives of the people living in that municipality. In many rural areas, for example, the biggest problems may be the opioid epidemic, literacy, etc. The entrenched bad policies there, mostly by conservatives I might add, affect those people far more, I would argue, than most pieces of fed legislation.

And, as is obvious, Republicans have proposed and passed legislation, some good, some bad. As have Democrats. But local politics that s so entrenched dominates the city it’s in. That’s why, in a state like GA, for example, even with the Republicans controlling the statehouse, it’s all different when you go to say, Atlanta. Just like it’s different in Chicago than, well, quite honestly, most of the rest of the state of Illinois.

Bad idea pal. You're about to get smoked. Remy will likely handle the details, I'm too tired to respond right now.

I’m not too worried about Remy handling the details. He’s already cited to a source that proves my point.

Jesus, I’m too tired myself.

You wonder why he immediately brought up race

Canines

 

[greg23]

Pretty much everything you say is race baiting

Learning from Maxine and the rest on the left

 

[greg23]

Does she follow Candace Owens on Twitter tho?

Candice Owen's isn't really black; per the professional race hustlers on the left

Dr. Thomas Sowell is my go-to.

You calling me a liar?

I don't think you're a liar. I do think Thomas Sowell is the usual "go to" with right leaning white males who self identify as libertarian. They all have the same views, listen to the same sources, and post the same things. Always.

What's the problem with this? Sowell is legit. Of course libertarians would listen to libertarian sources. Who are they supposed to listen to socialists?

 

[Zion]

tbf, it is pretty weird that you couldn't name one right away.

I've listed them out before, what difference does it make if I list them and then people accuse me of googling the names and of having"black friends"?

I like Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Coleman Hughes, Glen Loury, Maj Toure, Eric July, Jason Whitlock, etc. Theres no shortage of black conservatives and black libertarians whose opinions I follow.

For less political and more social commentary I like Kevin Samuels, Aba and Preach and Fresh&Fit (more for the guests)

 

[bearmick]

What's the problem with this?

I didn't say there's a problem with it. I'm simply saying I see that group, I recognize them for whomst they are, and that I would rather break political bread with the deepest, most conservative evangelical right than I would with that group. That's all.
